Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 cups bok choy, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your salmon and bok choy will cook evenly and achieve a nice, crispy texture.
- Prepare a sheet pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This will be your marinade for the salmon and bok choy.
- Place the salmon fillets on one side of the prepared sheet pan. Brush each fillet generously with the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated.
- In a separate bowl, combine the chopped bok choy with the remaining marinade. Toss the bok choy until it is evenly coated.
- Arrange the marinated bok choy on the other side of the sheet pan, making sure to spread it out in a single layer for even cooking.
- Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the bok choy is tender.
- Once done, remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the salmon and bok choy warm, garnished with additional soy sauce or sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy your delicious and healthy meal!
Tips
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: Select salmon fillets with a vibrant color and firm texture. Look for bright green, crisp bok choy without any wilting.
- Marinade Magic: Don't rush the marinating process. Let the salmon and bok choy sit in the marinade for 5-10 minutes before cooking to enhance flavor absorption.
- Even Cooking Hack: Cut bok choy into similar-sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking and prevent some pieces from becoming too soft or undercooked.
- Temperature Check: Use a meat thermometer to ensure salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F for perfect doneness.
- Customize Your Flavor: Experiment with additional seasonings like ginger, red pepper flakes, or a splash of sesame oil to make the recipe your own.
- Presentation Matters: Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions to add a pop of color and extra flavor.
